This is my card for Carisa's VSN challenge; she asked us to make a card inspired by a major life event where we were on cloud nine. Last spring, my mom, sister and I celebrated the end of my sister's cancer treatment with a trip to Las Vegas to see Garth Brooks. We are all huge fans and have been for years; it was almost surreal to be sitting feet away (we had tickets in the third row!), singing all our favorite songs along with Garth. It was a really special night. The card is inspired by the decor at the Wynn casino where Garth plays; there's lots of red and these huge sparkly butterflies. The music paper is a nod to the concert.

Finishing cancer treatment is absolutely a reason to be on cloud 9! I'm so happy for your sister and your whole family!! Okay, and a little jealous, too, that you guys got to see Garth Brooks in concert...

Perfect card to reflect that special time. Love the sparkly butterflies and their fancy bodies. And, the three butterflies can represent you, your mom and sister AND sitting in the 3rd row at the concert.
